Red Snapper
Also called: American Red Snapper
The American red snapper is the crown jewel of Gulf bottom fishing — brilliant red, hard-pulling, and superb on the plate. When the season opens, they're the most sought-after fish out there.
Our federal offshore permit lets us run far enough to reach the better grades of these prized snapper.

How we catch Red Snapper
We drop live and cut bait to deep reefs, ledges, and wrecks on full-day offshore trips during the federal season.

An icon for good reason — clean, white, sweet fillets. Highly regulated, so seasons are short and prized.
